Carly walked in through 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0zqymVzux
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhqzoaNwMr
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpLv4Y6wCn
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr18O6uEun
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3YFiYp9jG
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf9eSqW9WN
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3G0392bcQ
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI7OHE3vC9
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWaAGBZFv7
"Have you already eaten lunch?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeVoYoAwYM
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BCvZcCoEC
"Looks like the shopping did you good."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9E7l090iC
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKttAG6kBI
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4BOe1Iyg0
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjf44QRIHl
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFzkMJWmq6
"In the study?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBJaYtEX82
"The study downstairs. She was a little bored and didn't want to watch TV, so she decided to spend her time with a book."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsIYneesAv
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBSMCqzDjz
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mquVytgwY
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhslFTOj6gI
"I know you're supposed 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S3HgwgmFz
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8xfL4l56i
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5FTqg0nSe
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuZiFmZWR9
Carly felt herself 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK3FA3KHUJ
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCr6rqHwJv
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd3btOXd8a
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAdjEQpEIv
her that.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gz6z2j1l2
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpXVgmSdYW
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49gbsDtSsR
Just before the two 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vQGF7AQvJ
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Anflgb3X
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGDu3KNh8V
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT3GIVRLfU
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEHYax9JwY
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysfg0RWSk5
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnsPTCC7Xo
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmz1MiOSY3
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KkifrRB6r
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaQze0Ynyn
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlK2ybYv5b
Carly went on her way 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypcMw6iVar
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh5cWh0M8l
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHQWdltD4g
from Amanda.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOG3jjntS9
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5hg2hsu91
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0xYkZJ5q4
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsfOMvbgXn
Carly couldn't hear 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwX3SKfzHq
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynssidx5Lw
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NS1crPkjB
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOTnQ4hOCE
Before she could get to 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpv1jpmvjJ
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1gQ7vgsDj
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXGCMjsl7c
She opened the door to 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcK6acl1bo
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aV9kbMahh
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUPpD2RIHd
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP9nVkDlqs
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0uXXcZ4gU
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekWYcPizWC
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2k7xkBHAr
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDThjYDOB0l
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZj0DkkGTV
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYsScGktDq
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRusFKM4zzJ
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNgq2a9md2
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ai6B38XaU
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFbMBSIimg
"How has been your day?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1B2a0vHoW
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AWTYyPIKj
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIDObkjKq3
facing her sister.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2xpV3lVBY
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxSAK4TFK0
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfcuVUvwC3
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRzBtUZVS6
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdVpWY88FM
Angel faced the glass 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy29nUC7Tv
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgrKsAkej0
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAd52tKjFN
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOizQlK6big
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMi4uzG7PJ
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBwdnxRGOV
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HMgjPfpFS
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnThPfbok5
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8jrtI7gJw
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pYGRtTIxL
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4zyVogiXm
Carly's mouth fell open 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJLoeYHVoI
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoXPSRMNN7
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvxIfSVM2x
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGdRg7jvz2
"Do you think I would 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7NBP24dJO
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS0Bz9hDrJ
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zs7tIKiyd
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWcAMnGvCT
"For you, yes because 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCtg5ojFQN
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndZVL6WEcG
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi2hk0TzPG
the mall?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfGpotnRID
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzbeAT5wj3
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepgWoktIvA
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qb1AVr5r3
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyfI0A5uEX
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7kmDL5ZYy
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrP6NDnCTs
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh041y8qMb
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9iFwRHV7Y
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rsXC0yvZr
"I wouldn't worry about 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIWjQyD79x
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3Qi4Ddjh3
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGNGyk3RX9
"When a lady's fiancé 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6HFJgKMxN
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAxypFFsTI
that there might be another woman."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI6HfnMWag
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRko8nQVWJQ
Angel felt like 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu5aWiEGCi
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUqqxTIhhC
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDTGwqg2If
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0FmyU1tC8
"Well, what do you 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8pK1b6cio
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnkxoorvKS
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrRalTVojv
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnLDPOHyoF
Kim for good."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaPXcgLDrd
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYhW1lE35Z
Angel placed the book 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa5UgieTY4
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIXYof0NsV
started to wheel herself out of the room.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GQDs2UzzM
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrLw9vpBP1
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmWBbW2bv7
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4hNwBUuO9
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7gwLDOmwe
"You want me to move on 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphBVISvHrF
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmV6sfBiwP
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1TVnMugUH
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4iryEqiqy
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATJqK2od2t
"What?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SfhKWtQgH
Carly felt powerless as 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs5QKcpdRi
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSH56uYBXv
on her chair so as to look at Carly.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSHQM9otex
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDblRDpxbe
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIPQme8fvR
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkxMhggYrP
Carly felt her knees 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV80OCVRn9Q
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzDzdjB5uM
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw6yK6FQVs
lost and confused.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jicxc1MWh
"At least you now know 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawPEcigI2q
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCYuxIZwjr
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaQ4DjYi53
to or else that would've killed her instead."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgDMV4bu3D
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh36m0YhdJX
"But it's the truth." 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg3obpXTn9
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3xjNJo9MK
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFYxy38vLo
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SoCvr3PCg
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkrwsdVv6w
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38rM0e4ygP
Angel looked on at 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBd9eRR7oU
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyhefu4Z7x
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRPq7EnPJR
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT88WJUXWqB
sister anymore.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeXWj90lJs
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFPC6Z21GU
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g4yB57bR7
Angel flinched by the 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWOoDZfXtZ
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NGTciiVEt
hadn't heard their whole conversation.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWaTWvRiJh
Angel turned the wheelchair around and saw Amanda by the door. She looked on at the two sisters with a worried look on her face.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5p9mTJ89s
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnSQJJA23y
Amanda continued to look878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8dh745M86
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFEE1PCTG0
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb0EEei86d
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct9dBU2lY8
"Well, you should have 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FSQuO0wXm
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5fOxLHFHr
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFNYaT1elL
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQEc0pK278
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoP85bwXYm
"Of course."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVE50RL2Gm
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU5NEtyi7J
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWfQEu6Nk3
"Well, I better go and 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdvOcAf2j2
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqFSi3Q7JZ
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuRvMcRjPQ
my best behaviour."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzZ2V4mJh5
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dfmmfUtpk
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8HoHOqp2R
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqcdWtr9qk
"You're right, dear. I'm not."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyraA02E4w
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKtiJxBWiD
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDjefSd8iw
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMuXKD8MkT
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kd9LbBuSH
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSYHScVgWV
Carly looked at Angel 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8djodUSarK
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwoFzkb7Ci
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBVZVgH0li
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPITlMOsup2
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd9aVa8kH6
"What should I do?" 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7Rb1nQjpq
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCFmwI6mNX
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Ts8pVjSq
dinner."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU3ohuqQYM
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2QwG9fijB
"Are you serious?" Angel878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc932HAOon
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKLrnqEFfh
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4wYL0q8Us
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qo8vV6AxZ
"I wouldn't like to know878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV5d0IVSLB
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KIWWUEUYR
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2q4EVbRxG
future."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yRLZuee7E
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgon3PeN1EK
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvPEPoFCNl
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlCQxsMo82
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqVHXeBbhy
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgEYGOwwrc
Carly almost gave a 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueYpVqxmOU
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWnsenJ6rT
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZdXXzIOHu
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeadWM7Hy8
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCGTifdeOK
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV69TaLPL6O
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iLqIT1aew
Amanda turned her 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yuUZeQTBL
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHWkDcehtv
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B6HeCeGEV
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZOY30td5q
"With what?" Angel asked.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCwNnQdyU0
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK9f6haxDw
"Carly, you aren't going878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSfB6WWKtc
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqnWXXvGlV
backside. You don't want to make it worse."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEPPJCbVDC
"But aren't you scared?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv3B7zEyRP
Angel raised her eyebrow878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpRs8lEl1Q
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqIVUcyKcJ
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7YBkbp8gM
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBawmdPl7Vt
"I'm glad you've changed878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E27n9N2bn
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKunHl0Bess
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG8Hw54A9D
would be a problem."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUg53mvzws
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPSn1qcCF1
"It's none of my 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2L99mm3SO
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRnszs0zhC
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNfrpQNWyw
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nuQWXUD0U
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGusV4fWYZ
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpruqawycTi
When Angel left the 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnIlLmXPkD
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW60KSWoPZ
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
